"Ies. sir we had the cars rnnning

" How mapy cars have you running 2"

"Ob, We have not got any out now"
replied Mr.. Spraguc, "except some on
the Church Hill loop, where the men
who are TO run them are being in
structed. l would not think of putting
a car on the line until the persons who
are to handle it are thoroughly familiar
with their work and prepared to operate
the cars with perfect safety. There ar
about forty of these men, all from Rich
mond, now on the loop and at the car
sheds who are continually trying the cars
to see what they can do with them.
Some of these will be engineers, some
conductors, and some will fiji other posi-
tions. They are learning well and by
the time we are ready to put cars on for
travel they will be able to operate the
cars with as perfect safety rs any of the

Why, they had no idea how to apply the

INSTANTLY KILLED.
ONE BOY SHOOTS ANOTHER WIFE A
PARLoR RIFLE.
Sad Tragedy Yesterday Morning in Hsnrico
County West Of Hsrvietown-
The Particulars.

Near Harvietown about 1880 O'Clock
yesterday morning Willie Pinder was
shot and instantly killed by Harry
Cooper.
The former was employed at ?. H.
Mayo & Brothers factory, and was
between eighteen and nineteen
years Of age, and was the son Of
Mr.. j. W. Pinder, who operates dairy
farm on the west side Of Haryletown.
Cooper is twelve years old, and IS the
son of Mr.. J. B. Cooper, who keeps a
little store in the samo neighborhood,
and who is also clerk and collector Tor
the Dean Of the Medical College.
TIE PARLoR RIFLE.
One Of the Younger boys OF the Pinder
family recently received as a present a
parlor rifle, and yesterday morning VIII
lie took this weapon to Cooper's store.
There he found harry behind the coun-
ter, and after some conversation Willie
handed the weapon to his young friend,
saying it had gotten ont of order and
wouldn't shoot, or something OF that
kind. Harry grasped the gun, and al
most instantly it was discharged. Harry
says that he cannot recollect that he
touched the trigger, so quick did the re-
port follow the transfer of the weapon
from WilIie's to Harry's hands.
Willie fell to the floor, and in few
minutes was dead
THE FATAL WOUND.
The bullet entered near the left eye
and between it and the bridge of the
nose, and no doubt lodged in the brain.
The occurrence of course plunged both
families into unspeakable grief.
The little fellow who had killed his
friend was all day in condition OF mind
little short of delirium.
The county authorities held an in
quest. though there was no question at
all that the shot was fired 10y accident
and that the two boys were on the best Of
terms.
HOW II HAPPENED.
From the account that Harry Cooper
is able to give, Willie Pinder-who was
the older and taller boy-wa5 bending
over him while he was handling the rifle
and though the muzzle was pointed up
ward and almost in a perpendicular line,
the bullet struck deceased, and in a spot
where it required little penetratiyc force
to reach the brain.
THE INSTRUMENT OF DEATH.
The rifle is insignificant in appearance,
but weapons of its kind have been the
death of many people, and quite often in
lust the way that this accident happened.
Mr.. Cooper is well known in this city
from his former connection as book
keeper with the firm Of George Il
William Gibson. lie and all his family
are suffering distress OF mind not even
exceeded by that of the Flinders.

REPAIRINGTHE BREAK,
Water 10 be Turned In the Canal by
Monday Next

The work of repairing the break in the
canal in front of the Old pump-house is
progressing very satisfactorily. A large
number of hands are employed from
early morning until late at night and all
possible haste is being made. The work
OF excayating for the foundation has been
nearly completed and to-day the work of
constructing the foundation will proba-
bly, begin.
The undertaking is quite a great one,
but if no Unforeseen hindrance is expe-
rienced it is expected that the canal can
be gotten in condition to turn the water
into it by the latter part OF the week.
If so, the water will be turned in early
Monday morning. that the GallegO
Mills, Tredegar Works, and other places
dependent upon this rs a source Of
power which have been suspend
ed may he started up. The
break, it will be remembered, is about
sixty feet long and the wall about thirty
feet high. AS a consequence of the
break a large number of operatives en-
ployed at places along the water line
have had to suspend operations, and it
will be glad tidings to them as well as to
their employers to know that operations
may be resumed in 50 short time.
